Info
I am a scummer who joined on January 22, 2007. My two favorite games are iPick & Space Monkeys. I have so far moderated only a few games, mostly in the Newbie category.
I am Mafiascum's primary Technical Administrator. Responsibilities include building new tools, fixing old bugs, performing upgrades, and recovering from crashes. Perks include a pretentious red name and access to hidden forums. The two site crashes for which I am best known for recovering from are The Great Rollback and the The Great Encryption. The fatigue of these two crashes along with increasing political strife caused me to go on an abrupt and unannounced hiatus between December 2012 and April 2013.
In the real world I am a 28 year old former landscaper turned programmer.

Ongoing Projects
- Site Chat - Continued improvements.
- Post Masking: A option that you can set on a per-game basis that will allow any posts made by your primary account to be placed under an alternative account.
Past Projects
- Activity Overview - Displays a summary of poster activity within a given thread.
- [countdown] tag - A BBCode tag that will display the difference between the current time and the time you specify within the tag.
- Multi-Isolation - Provides the ability to view more than one poster in isolation for a given thread.
- Wiki-Forum Integration - Allows users to log in to the wiki with their forum account without having to register separately.
- Private Message Searching - Installed a plugin to allow private messages to be searched.
- [dice] tag - Originally implemented by [[jeep] on the phpBB2 board, these were completely redone after the phpBB3 board upgrade.
- Pre-Crash & Archive Reintegration - There existed three different boards: The live board, the archive, and the pre-crash board. The pre-crash board consisted of posts from the early days of Mafiascum up until a massive crash occurred. The archive consisted of most posts prior to the Summer 2010 phpBB3 upgrade, initially to address server stability issues. With better hosting, the need for this separation became unnecessary, and we unified all into a single database for user ease.
- Friends & Foes - Primary Contributor: kunkstar7, this feature was modified to work only outside of Mafia games. The lack of this separation is the main reason the feature was disabled.
- Autolocking Topics : The ability for moderators to enter a date and time at which their topic will automatically lock. Particularly useful for moderators with deadlines.
